The National Basketball Associations is loaded with exceptional players that do things on the court we as fans can only dream about. So when the time comes for NBA coaches and fans to choose All-Stars, the 12 best (and fan favorite) players in the league, there are bound to be some unlucky guys that don't make the cut. Here's the Recliner GM's take on the players that did, and didn't get invited to New Orleans this season. East Starters West Starters Jason Kidd - … [Read more...]
The Recliner GM’s COMPLETE NBA Mid-Season Awards
January 30, 2008 By 27 Comments
With the NBA season passed its midpoint I feel it necessary as a true Recliner GM to give out some accolades - and stir up some healthy debate. With so much outstanding individual play I almost copped out and gave awards to both Eastern and Western Conference players.

My all-time NBA team: Can you beat me in a 7-game series?
December 21, 2007 By
I challenge everyone to a NBA 7-game series. I want to see how my twelve guys match up against yours. I won't have who I think are the 12 best players although I definitely will have a few.
